On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) comes home to find opened front door, shattered glass table and his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) missing. Once Nick notifies the police the investigation and media circus begins and people quickly come to conclusion that Nick had something to do with Amy's disappearance. What happened to Amy Dunne?

I had absolutely no time - not that's a lie, I had absolutely no energy -
to watch a lot of movies this week. It's because it's so dark
outside - I go to work - it's dark. I come back home - it's dark too.
Well it's actually 6:30 am (I get up at 5:30, 5:15 if I want to actually
brush my hair and try to look like a human being that day, that
happened like, twice this week) and 4:15 pm respectively, but it feels
like it's night time since the sun is out already. If there were no windows
in my office I'd literally stop witnessing sunlight, which would
eliminate the one thing that makes people feel a bit more comfortable
around me - the proof that I'm not the Queen of the Undead.

There are so many strange claims about the story of Gone Girl - that it's misogynistic, that the third act made no sense, that Amy is just a 'psycho bitch', that Nick was 'a good guy'. It's hard to write about these people as if they were people who could exist - the story, which people seem to forget so often while they are whining about the third act is a satire. But Flynn wrote these characters in a brilliant way - their actions are unpredictable and heightened to fit the pulpy tone of the story but at the same time given what we know about the characters, their lives, past experiences and personalities - they all make sense.

Very dark days. I didn't even have the time for Stephen movie this week. On the bright side I'll have a bit more free time next week so I will watch more movies and you can expect American Horror Story Recaps, last year I kinda gave up after few episodes but Freakshow looks much more coherent than Coven.
